Rooney is a quality player as good as RVP in my view and we can pay whatever transfer fees United put up for him
BUT
who would pay his wages? He earns 200-250k a week

I don't want him. Attitude, lifestyle all points to an early end of career. even in past seasons he's only performed on streaks 1/3 of the season and very often becomes a passenger.

really? Rooney relies on positioning and precision, not pace. He's got a nasty good pass with a lethal shot. He's the type of player that will still be useful for several years

Very unlikely that Manure will sell him to a domestic "rival".
And I'd much rather we spend big on someone whose best years are not behind him.

Everyone's thinking about this wrong. Wayne Rooney doesn't need money. He's loaded.
He's been slagged off, tossed aside by the club that he once led. Thrown to the curb in favor of a stronger, better striker. Once, he thought he was top stuff, now, he's yesterday's news.
True, PSG could offer more money, and Madrid is a bigger club. but there's one thing that Arsenal can offer that none of them can. With Arsenal, Rooney can prove that he's bigger, and better, than RVP.
There's a motive sweeter than honey, more important than money and older than Stone Henge.
Revenge.

@ Wokich: that doesn't seem completely unbelievable to me if I'm honest,he could find a big motivation in that.
As for his wages-how much could we save after getting rid of some,if not all,of our fringe players? One Rooney,when fit,ready and motivated,would surely be worth more for our team than a bunch of players who rarely play and even when they do it seems like we're playing with 10 men?

Who's going to buy Diaby, Chamak? and sell 7 players to buy one player?
I dont want Rooney for that price we can buy Cavani or Falcao even Ibra, Rooney's not worth it and I dont see us paying anyone that much at least not next season

Cavani or Falcao are going to be at least 20 million pounds more expensive than Rooney, but they do have more potential for growth so I would rather have them too.

We will most likely find out this summer as I foresee all three players on the move. But I can see PSG or Madrid paying just as much for Shrek as the other two.scytheavatar said:

Seems like it's Rooney doing the disrespecting. Acted the **** a few years back too, questioning Ferguson and United.
On this rumour - Rooney to Arsenal?...
.....not in a million years.

I would not want to see Rooney coming to us, he quite often gives it the prima donna bit where he thinks he is better than everyone else,
And he also has lulls in the season where he does not do a lot,
He looks like he is in the shadow of RVP now and you can see why he would want to get away from United.

Nothing Wrong With Me
Why on earth does a Utd player who will never seriously be a genuine transfer target for us, thank God, have a thread in his name? Oh, because Goal said we are after him! Sure we are, and we will happily pay £200,000 + per week.
Pointless thread!

This is not the sort of physique that is going have a player playing top level football into his 30s, do you think even if Arsène could afford he fee and wages that he would bother?
(rooney is the sloth in the middle by the way)

Rooney might be too big a personality for our dressing room . If he was a good influence it would be great , but if the opposite were true I don't see anyone of our boys being able to put him into line .
Pure fantasy ,but Rooney and Wilshere together would be a very strong axis.

Thats one of the only reason why I think Rooney would want to come here.
Every man and his dog knows that Jack is going to be central to England's plans for a long time. Theo has been in the England outfit for a long time and looks like continuing to do so. Add in Alex and Kieran who will be looking to cement a place in the squad come Rio and its easy to see why playing for Arsenal would be beneficial for any England international.
Sure United have Jones, Smalling, Cleverly and Welbeck, but as a an Englnad forward, playing alongside Theo and Jack every week would be a major plus.

When exactly did rooney give a shti about playing for england? he has been terrible for years.
What total naff specualtion aroudn this guy who has caused anelka like trouble at one of the biggest clubs in europe, hardly the sort you want to bring in on huge wages and fee as a club like arsenal that doesn't naturally do those things.

Did people see this yet? <a class="postlink" href="http://blog.foxsoccer.com/post/50044919217/arsenal-sign-most-lucrative-contract-in-british-soccer" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://blog.foxsoccer.com/post/50044919 ... ish-soccer</a>
46M GBP a year for our new kit deal? That's where you afford these huge wages. And yes, there might be interest from other places like Madrid or PSG but as we found out with Judas, the only thing that really matters is if a player has his mind set on a particular club. If Rooney is set on Arsenal, I can see this happening. As others have said, this makes sense for a lot of reasons.
I also love how folks on the transfer forum can find fault with any link lol
would be over the moon if we brought in a player like Rooney!
